Hi,

when i run python from elevated CMD it is failed to start and give error system codecs not found...

The problem is python installer for windows "python-3.5.2-amd64.exe" is not adding the PYTHONHOME environment variable.

When I manually added it problem solved.

Thanks,

PYTHONHOME should only be set temporarily for special cases. If running python.exe without PYTHONHOME fails to find the standard library, then your system is misconfigured. For additional help with this problem, ask on either python-list or python-win32.
